threw away the receipt already (i bought the bag a few weeks ago, just noticed now that it's the wrong thing), and am feeling too sheepish to take it back without one... and wondered if there's any chicken-use for it?
Darn quotes aren't working right this morning
Anyway, how big are the pellets? If the pellets are small, I'd just throw some out on the ground for them as treats. I include rabbit pellets in my treat mix for my birds.
If the pellets are big, the big horse size extruded pellets, I'd take some in a bucket, pour a little warm water over them to make a thick mash. Then try putting some out for the birds. You might need to put something on top they recognize so they'll give it a try. A little as a treat would be fine for them and it won't go to waste. They naturally eat greens & grain, the primary component of the pellets.
If they still won't eat it, then I'd give it away. It's illegal here to purposely feed the deer (attract predators) or you could put it out for them. Personally, I don't try to encourage them, it's already a constant war for my garden and landscaping.
thanks, i'll try the mash method (they are big pellets, same size as the compressed-pine pellets i buy for cat litter) -- believe me, the deer need NO attracting around here, i have the same constant war with them going on...! the primary ingredients of this horse feed are alfalfa hay, "mixed grain hays," rice bran, almond hulls etc -- it says "do not feed to sheep," i wonder why? -- i'll try giving the chickens some as a treat, will also see if it works like pine does for cat litter!
It was nice meeting you. I still can't believe you drove all the way from San Jose for two chicks and to peel quail eggs at my kitchen sink!
Not that I haven't driven that far to get something I wanted................
DH wanted to drive to Oregon to get babies to save them the trip with the USPS.
I wonder where all that crowing is coming from....................?
